(by attempt at drawing a dog with my tablet)
Well I saw the perfect dog up at the animal shelter, I loved him at first sight. His name was Roger and he was a seven month old border collie. The most gorgeous dog, he had a beautiful temperament, he was intelligent and friendly. I was sold the minute I saw him… to bad my parents weren’t. We were told that his old owners gave him up because of his barking, that he needed a lot of attention and training. My dad had previously decided against a dog because it needed a lot of training so I was worried but I thought I may be able to bring him around, turns out he wasn’t the one I should have been worried about. My mum was completely against Roger, she said we just couldn’t have a dog that would bark all day. I tried to tell her that he’d grow out of it, I argued as hard as I could, I begged, I pleaded, I threatened water works, I even said that I couldn’t believe anyone could not love a dog just because it barked… but all to no avail 
My parents had decided against him and so in silence we drove back home. I was so disappointed I could hardly hold back tears, what a once in a life time opportunity; a pure bred border collie (my absolute favourite bred of dog) at an animal shelter but I guess it just wasn’t to be :’(
This, if you haven’t seen one before is a border collie:
I don’t want to look at dogs anymore, it hurts to much finding a dog you love and have it knocked back by your family, to let yourself build up the hope that tonight you’ll have a new pet only to have it end in bitter disappointment. One day I’ll move out (hopefully soon) and I’ll pick my own pet and I’ll pick whichever one I want <3

Well as I write this I am sitting in a hotel suit (ok it’s a Travel Lodge… same difference) in Sydney.
I enjoyed the flight over, which is saying something because I hate flying but we flew Qantas for the first time in years and we got in-flight movies and food, all included in the cost. I’d forgotten how good it was to get those little extras, the no frills flights are so cheap and nasty But I’ll be flying Tiger Airways in September so it will be back to no frills soon enough.
I had a terrible nights sleep but then I always do for the first few nights staying away from home. I hate New South Wale’s public transport they are so darn expensive and they wouldn’t accept my Health Care Card or student ID as grounds for concession, I was sooo peeved D< Seriously if you get on at one station just to go to the next station is $3 something and a day pass is $20
Ok I’ve had my rant, now to the good things. The trains are double deckers which is pretty neat, we attempted to find China Town but failed so we jumped on the Circular Quay bus and checked out the prices for the ferries. Whist there I took some pics of Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Opera House, then we jumped on a ferry and sailed off to Watson Bay. the ferry was fun and the trip was visually breathtaking 
Watson Bay wasn’t very exciting… there were seriously no shops! So we went to a cafe and I got a Macadamia gelato then checked out the view on the cliff and wow~! The water was so blue <3
Next we check out the library which turned out not to be a library despite the sign, that was weird…
After that we headed back to the hotel, the only shop we ever managed to find was Priceline 
Tomorrow we’re going to Castle Hill which is a nice shopping centre complex but I have a feeling we’ll never find our way there and even if we do they’ll probably have more restaurants/cafes then shops.

First of all I just want to say that I adopted Louise’s Bubble Tea pixels (see it in the pixel tab), I love them hehe so cute. Check out more of Louise’s pixels at her site http://agmyst.net/
Ok so I was very, very bored when I stumbled across this site:
Bored?
I read and attempted most of the things you can do with absolutely nothing and found them relatively entertaining
I just skimmed through the others though. Still it’s worth a look if you’re mind-numbingly bored and want a bit of a laugh ^^
In other news I have a new phone XD the Nokia X6 and I love it <3 (The link is to a photo of it that I found in Google images)
Here’s another picture of it:
Ooo also I’m going to Sydney this weekend. My dad’s refereeing the Judo Nationals there~! I’ll try and take heaps of photos

Hmm I decide to try a new way of blogging but it didn’t work out that well, none of the pictures actually showed up :/
I was trying to post the pencil case that I sewed during the mid semester break:
Anyway back to blogging:
I got a new letter from my pen pal Lissette it was super cute =3
I also applied for two Pharmacy assistant positions so fingers crossed~! And I’ve made my decision now, I will be doing a double major; Pharmacy and Physiology but to do it I had to drop a subject so I’m only doing 3 this semester and I’ll have to overload next semester :x to make sure that I cover all the units I need -__- Oh well wish me luck, I’ll do my best!
In other news AUGs (Australian Uni Games) are coming soon so I’ll have to get back into training for Taekwondo, I’ve been a bit lazy since exams in training I have been going to the gym though so hopefully it won’t be to hard to get back into the swing of it. I can’t wait to go, it’s over in Perth and all the flights are booked, I just have to register. I’m nervous though… I mean I’ve competed in judo and it’s not that bad but this is a more serious competition and taekwondo is quite a different sport. Oh well I guess I just have to believe in myself ^^
Also I have written a little snap shot story which I’ve called ‘Alone’ you can check it out if you’d like 
I’m not sure whether I’ll write more or not yet, I’ll see if I get any feed back.
